| Lyrics: | I'm gonna hold on--
'cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can
tell me I'm wrong--I ain't goin' down
I had a baby at fifteen--
daddy never did forgive
me
I never heard from the guy again
I had to drop outta high school--
everybody treated
me so cruel
But I didn't give in and giver her away
[Repeat Chorus]
Her smile
got me through the day--
and every night I'd pray
I could give her enough
At night I'd
lie awake and cry--
hopin' we'd get by
'Cause you can't live on love
I worked night
and day to keep us goin'
Through the sweat and tears
without her knowin'
It was worth it
just to watch her grow
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
Whenever she needed my
shoulder
I'm so glad I never let her go
[Repeat Chorus]
Her smile got me
through the years--
dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night I'd lie awake
and cry--
prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh,
oh
[Instrumental solo]
Her smile got me through the day--
and every night I'd
pray
I could give her enough
[Repeat Chorus (2x)]
No on can tell me I'm
wrong
I ain't goin' down |
